"Kakashi-senpai..."
Yamato walked over and gently persuaded Kakashi Hatake, "Don't forget, Uchiha Obito... is also an enemy of the village... He's the one who killed the Fourth Hokage couple..."
"..."
Sarutobi Asuma sighed.
"Obito..."
Kakashi Hatake's hand tightly gripped his kunai as he looked at Uchiha Obito lying on the ground, pleading and painfully looking up at him, his heart twinged with pain.
I couldn't protect Rin...
Can't even avenge Rin?
"At the very least..."
"Bring Obito over first."
Kakashi Hatake seemed unable to feel the pain as he whispered, "Obito is a traitorous ninja of Konoha. We must bring him back to deal with..."
"Alright."
The Anbu Ninja could only nod.
He seemed to know about Kakashi Hatake's past and softly said, "Kakashi-senpai, I hope you calm down a bit. You're not a match for Uchiha Madara, don't make unnecessary sacrifices..."
"I know..."
Kakashi Hatake walked step by step toward Uchiha Obito, reaching out to support his friend's body and hand him over to Haruno Sakura for some treatment.
However...
Uchiha Obito suddenly grabbed Kakashi Hatake's shoulder, gritting his teeth as he said, "Take out my eyes and take revenge for Rin in my place!"
"First, heal your injuries..."
Kakashi Hatake looked at the black rod on Uchiha Obito's shoulder.
"I should have died a long time ago!"
Uchiha Obito's hand involuntarily dropped down, yet he still held Kakashi Hatake's arm tightly with force, "Uchiha Madara has control over my heart, I can't attack him, take out my eyes and seek revenge!"
"The village's orders prohibit action against Uchiha Madara..."
Kakashi Hatake whispered the sentence, seemingly draining all his strength, "If Kagura really does something... Konoha... needs Uchiha Madara's power..."
"Kagura!"
Naruto Uzumaki finally couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere anymore and spoke up. He looked at Akihara Kagura and asked a question that many present were concerned about, "What exactly have you done! Why do they say you've defected! What's going on here!"
"Just trying to bring true peace to the Ninja World."
Akihara Kagura smiled and offered his idea, "Mr. Black Zetsu and I plan to use a relatively gentle method, collect the Tailed Beasts to revive the Ten-tails, and use the Ten-tails to kill all the ninjas in the Ninja World, to recreate a new Ninja World..."
"..."
Everyone's heart suddenly felt cold.
Can this method still be called gentle?
Kakashi Hatake patted Uchiha Obito comfortingly, frowning as he looked at Akihara Kagura, "This doesn't quite seem like your style..."
"Kakashi."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Kakashi Hatake, his smile suddenly becoming brilliant, "Do you really know the real me that you recognize?"
"!!!"
Kakashi Hatake felt a chill, remembering what Uchiha Obito had mentioned, "Did you really once with Obito..."
"Yes..."
Akihara Kagura nodded, continuing on his own, "At that time, I exposed Uchiha Obito's identity, gained your trust, successfully joined the Akatsuki Organization, and gradually obtained the Akatsuki Organization's War Weapon plan..."
"Very clever."
"The Akatsuki Organization coincidentally aligned with my plan."
"Of course."
"The Akatsuki Organization's plan is like a joke..."
Akihara Kagura seemed somewhat mocking, slowly shaking his head, "Some people want to use the Tailed Beasts to revive the Ten-tails to threaten the Ninja World into peace... Some want to use the Ten-tails to create a dream world... This kind of inferior method inevitably makes one look down on it."
"Since the power to destroy the Ninja World is in hand..."
Akihara Kagura spread his arms, a touch of pride on his face, "Then why not try destroying this world and re-create a new one?"
"How could you..."
Naruto Uzumaki stared at Akihara Kagura in disbelief as if seeing them for the first time, "Kagura, how could you have such thoughts!"
"Maybe it's because I'm too tired?"
Akihara Kagura shrugged, speaking with some indifference, "I've always longed for war but found my ways of pacifying the war somewhat boring... even when I'm in Konoha, there are still large and small wars all over the Ninja World..."
"Wanting to pacify these wars seems a bit tedious..."
"Just happened to find a solution for completely ending war, and found out how to kill all the ninjas, and even know how to create new ninjas..."
"Since that's the case..."
"Might as well clear away all ninjas..."
Akihara Kagura extended his hand, brushing back his long hair over his forehead, revealing a slightly crazed smile, "Let me destroy this world first to enjoy myself, and then try creating a new peaceful ninja era..."
"But this isn't peace!"
Naruto Uzumaki looked at the smiling Akihara Kagura in disbelief, his hand clenched into a fist, "This is... slaughter..."
"Peace requires bloodshed to be achieved."
Akihara Kagura was indifferent to Naruto Uzumaki's statement, "That's a truth even children know, if you don't understand that, there's no need for me to say more..."
"It's a pity..."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, softly lamenting, "Now there aren't many people willing to sacrifice for the peace of a new era, some even think I'm daydreaming..."
